Brief summary
The aim of the current clinical study was to evaluate, for the first time in humans (FTIH), the safety and immunogenicity of the altSonflex1-2-3 candidate vaccine against S. sonnei and S. flexneri serotypes 1b, 2a, and 3a. The vaccine was first administered to adults 18 to 50 years of age in Europe. Subsequently, the vaccine was administered to a shigellosis-endemic population in Africa, first to adults 18 to 50 years of age, then to children 24 to 59 months of age, and finally to infants 9 months of age. Infants also received a third vaccination. Three different doses of the vaccine \[low, medium, and high amounts of antigen\] were evaluated using an age de-escalation approach (from the least vulnerable adult population to the most vulnerable paediatric population). The results of this study allowed the selection of the most appropriate dose for further vaccine development in infants 9 months of age, which was the main target age group for this vaccine.

| Stage 2: Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Anti-serotype Specific Shigella Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/O-Antigen (OAg) Serum Immunoglobulin G (IgG) in Participants 9 Months of Age in Africa | At Day 281 (28 days after the third study intervention) | Anti-serotype specific Shigella LPS/OAg serum IgG GMCs were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and expressed in ELISA units per milliliter (EU/mL) of serum. Four serotypes were tested. Due to the fact, that the Per protocol set (PPS) for Stage 2 Infants - dose finding cohort had less than the 72 participants per group defined in the protocol as a minimum number of participants to ensure power of the analysis, the Stage 2 Infants Safety cohort and Dose-finding cohort were pooled for the statistical analysis as per the Statistical Analysis Plan. As per protocol, statistical analysis was performed only for the S. sonnei serotype, comparing Stage 2 Infants: Pooled groups (medium vs low dose); and Stage 2 Infants Dose-finding groups (high vs low dose). The objective of this outcome measure is to identify the preferred dose of each component of the altSonflex1-2-3 vaccine for infants 9 months of age in Africa, therefore control groups were not analyzed. |
